£10 million signing Brown Ideye fails to break deadlock

There were so many good stories that might have exploded into life but this
ended as a contender for one of the worst games in the Barclays Premier
League.

Shane Long, playing for Southampton after his £12 million signing from Hull
City, was not given a sniff against one of his former clubs; the home fans
did not make a fuss about the player exodus this summer; and Brown Ideye
narrowly failed to open his account for West Bromwich Albion after a record
£10 million transfer from Dynamo Kiev. The referee probably blew up early,
thankfully.
